MALA VIDA "BAD LIFE" PERFORMED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME ON NOVEMBER 18 2001. SINCE THAT DAY, THE BAND HAS ONLY A ROAD OF SUCCESS AND HAS SHARED STAGE WITH WELL KNOWN LOCAL BANDS AT SPANISH ROCK CLUBS AROUND THE NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY AREA. DURING THIS TIME, THE BAND GAINED ORIGINALITY AND EXPERIENCE, CREATING A UNIQUE STYLE. THE ROAD OF SUCCESS FOR THIS YOUNG BAND WAS ENCOMPASSED BY IMPORTANT EVENTS SUCH AS THE "BATTLE OF BANDS COORS LIGHT 2002", WERE THEY WON FIRST PRIZE AND THE PARTICIPATION IN A COPILATION CD TITLED "ROCKCLANDESTINO VOL 1" WITH 21 PRESTIGIOUS BANDS FROM THE TRI-STATE AREA NY, NJ, CONNECTICUT. FOR SURE, THE MEMBERS OF THIS BAND ARE BOUNDED BY THE SAME PASSION: THE MUSIC. THEY ALL SHARE THE SAME FEELING WHICH IS EXPRESSED IN TTHEIR SONGS; EASY TO EXPRESS BY HEART AND SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE ROCK IN A STAGE OF DREAMS AND HOPES. THIS IS WHAT KEEPS MALA VIDA ALIVE AND IN A GOOD RANKING IN THE SPANISH ROCK UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT.
